Vector
Vector Strain Overview
Vector is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by the Canadian breeder Next Generation Seeds. The strain was created by crossing two well-known parent strains, Romulan and Island Sweet Skunk, resulting in a balanced hybrid that combines indica relaxation with sativa cerebral effects. Vector first gained attention in the Canadian medical cannabis market before spreading to other regions, though it remains less common than many mainstream commercial strains.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure covered in a generous layer of trichomes. Vector's coloration typically ranges from deep forest green to lime green, with occasional purple hues appearing in cooler growing conditions. The buds are often accented with vibrant orange pistils, creating a visually striking appearance. The strain's name references its directional effects, which users describe as providing focused, targeted relief.
Vector is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, skunky notes from its Romulan lineage with the sweet, fruity characteristics inherited from Island Sweet Skunk. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, offering both physical relaxation and mental stimulation without overwhelming sedation or excessive cerebral intensity. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Vector has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor profile.

Vector Strain Growing Information
Vector is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Vector plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Growers should provide good air circulation and monitor humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
